Whether you're wearing your sweaters out in this cold weather or you live somewhere where the cold is a few months off, it's never too early to take care of your sweaters, jackets, and other pilled-up clothes. Thankfully, the perfect tool for the job may already be in your bathroom: a simple pumice stone.

Just lightly run the pumice stone along the outside of your shirts, jackets, sweaters, or even pants to quickly restore the surface to its former smooth glory. It takes a few minutes, and they're only about five bucks at Amazon if you don't have one already.

Alternatively, you could buy a cheap fabric shaver, but I've found many of them just don't work very well. We've also shown you how to use a disposable razor to de-pill clothes, but you run the risk of damaging the fabric with a blade. This method is a little safer.
